NJ.com Article About New Giants Stadium

As we gear up for another season of the NFL…here’s my kind of article on NJ.com/Star Ledger.

The kind of article that talks about how unnecessary the new football stadium is, how greedy the owners got with their PSL’s, and how the season ticket waiting list has somehow been completely wiped out.  

The team has yet to sell about 3,000 club seats, and a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal on Friday announced that sales are open to the general public. The Giants have one of the most loyal fan bases, but they are finding, just as the Jets are, that there is a limit to the number of millionaire football fans out there.
Fifty-four grand not only buys a high-definition TV for the living room. It buys the living room.

1418

1418

The Yankees are extra nauseating today.   It’s a “who cares” record.  I like Jeter.  He’s a Hall of Famer.  This record means nothing.

Can someone good at photoshop make us a snazzy logo with David and Krane on either end with a big 1418 in the middle so we can start celebrating David Wright’s historic pursuit.

Los Angeles Raiders Fans

Kind of an interesting leftover from last winter….Los Angeles Radiers fans who stuck with their team when it moved back to Oakland.  I’m still hoping the baseball Giants come back, and I have enjoyed rooting against the Same Old Jets since they left Shea.










Published: December 14, 2008
Game-day flights to Oakland from the Long Beach, Los Angeles, Burbank Orange County and Ontario airports are usually at least half full of Raiders fans.











Ever since the Raiders left Los Angeles to return to Oakland in 1995, Montgomery has followed. For nearly every game the Raiders play at home, he flies to Oakland in the morning and boards a shuttle for the 3.3-mile trip to the stadium. He returns home immediately afterward.


Montgomery, 56, is far from alone, despite the team’s recent years of dreadful performances, its dysfunctional front office and a further distancing from its stay in Los Angeles. Game-day flights to Oakland from the Long Beach, Los Angeles, Burbank, Orange County and Ontario airports are usually at least half full of Raiders fans, dressed in silver, black and white and wearing their game faces — occasionally applied with paint.“It takes an effort, which I like,” said Montgomery, who became a season-ticket holder when the team moved to Los Angeles. “Luckily, I have the money.


The flights are fun, but flying up there, you tend to focus and can’t wait for the game to start. I like the idea that I’m looking forward to something.”

New York Mets Screwed Fans: So We Didn’t Show Up (Last Night’s Crowd)

Hey “Saturday Plan” owners…did you use your tickets last night or did you sell them for 95 cents?

(click on the pic to fully appreciate it)

David Howard, I hope you enjoyed your “gate” last night.  The boxscore tells me the crowd was 37,620 or another way to spin it is 89.6% full.

Those extra “Saturday” games you jammed the plan with will be enough to get folks like me to buy NO Saturday games next year.  I can always jump on Stubhub and get some for a buck, right?

For those of you with Saturday plans – Saturday the 19th is not part of the package (not part of mine anyway), but Wednesday the 23rd is.  Seats are going for $1.50 on Stubhub if anyone wants to join us.

Thanks Mets.  Remember to be fan friendly because you want us safe because you want us back.
